In the last few days of the year, the city's speed finally slowed down, and the cold weather had just come down from Siberia, and the pedestrians on the road became more scarce at night.

In fact, Yuan Lu's junior high school alma mater is in an affiliated town-level city three hours away from City C, and before the highway was opened, it would take seven or eight hours to get to City C. The reason why the meeting place of the class reunion was set in the G Assembly Hall was mostly because most of the students at that time went to college or worked in City C, so there was no need to go back to the original place to hold the class reunion.

This is the first time Yuan Lu has participated in the class reunion since graduating from junior high school, and it is also the only time she has received an invitation. When the original heron came out of the subway entrance near G University, it was snowing with rice grains, and the uncle who sold sugar gourds on the side of the road was installing an umbrella on his bicycle to prevent the sugar gourds from being dirty by the snow.

Every time she encounters such a mobile vendor selling things at night, Yuan Lu always remembers the scene of going to the night market with her parents to practice stalls in her childhood. Winter is very cold, and it is even colder at night, she sits next to the stove where the dried tofu skewers are boiled, and her parents are guarding the fruit stall, she looks at the hot dried tofu skewers cooked in the basin and wants to eat a skewer, but she is always so quiet looking at the busy parents on the side and can't open her mouth.

"Uncle, are you still there in a while?"

"Maybe for a while, if I don't have any business, I'll go home early, and my wife is still waiting for me to close the stall."

Yuan Lu took out his wallet from his coat and said, "Then bring me two strings, there must be sesame seeds." ”

"Okay."

The sugar gourd is easy to melt at the heated room temperature, and she originally wanted to wait for the end of the class reunion to buy it, but she was afraid that the uncle would not be there at that time, so she had to carry the sugar gourd to the class reunion now.

"Julie, why did you get out of the subway exit, your boyfriend didn't drive you here?"

The girl's originally smiling expression was obviously cracked, "yes, he's working overtime today, what about you?" How is it here? ”

"How can I have such a good fortune as you, I heard that you are going to get engaged to your boyfriend as soon as you graduate, your boyfriend is so good and considerate that he will pick up and send him everywhere, and the house I rented is quite close to here, and I walked here."

"That's it, let's go together, it's past six o'clock, and the class reunion must have begun."

Yuan Lu was waiting for the uncle to help her pack the sugar gourd on the side of the road, and the conversation between the two girls passing by her got into her ears, she pretended to look around naturally, and glanced at the faces of the two people who seemed to be really familiar. The tall one with long wavy hair is called Julie, if Yuan Lu remembers correctly, she was a girl who was very popular with boys in the class at that time, and it seems that there has not changed much over the years, and it is still so eye-catching when walking in the crowd.

The figure walking beside her was slightly wider, and Hara Lu could match her face in memory, but the name was clearly on her lips but she couldn't say it exactly.

Yuan Lu lowered the brim of his hat and silently followed the two of them silently.

G Conference Hall has always been a place to receive school guests, the fourth floor is above the hotel accommodation, the second floor is the banquet hall, the third floor has private rooms and KTV, Yuan Lu must be the location of Wu Jinding, this guy is too lazy to pick a place, G City Hall is more ready-made.

The specific location of the alumni reunion is in Hall F on the third floor, and there are four tables for the banquet, two for men and two for women.

When Yuan Lu was in the hall on the first floor, he called Wu Jin and wanted to ask where he was, but as soon as the phone was connected, there was a noise around him, and Yuan Lu knew that he was already on it, so he didn't bother to ask, so he hung up the phone and went upstairs.

The door of Hall F was open, and there were still a few people standing at the door on the phone, all of them were old faces, and Yuan Lu bumped into Wu Jin at the door before he entered the door.

"Blocked the third ring? Where is the third ring? How is it possible, I just came from there, alas, I said you should come here quickly, I told you that there are many female classmates who come today, who does not come will suffer, if you are still single, you can take one back, there is this advantage and you still hope to catch a blind one from the street back? Wu Jin saw that the person he bumped into was Yuan Lu, pointed to the mobile phone in his hand, and motioned for him to go outside to answer the phone for a while before coming back.

Yuan Lu didn't care about him, and walked straight into the box.

"It's not ......" The two tables of girls quieted down a little, noticing the person who had just come in through the door.

It didn't take long for a clear voice to come out of the girls' pile: "Yuan Lu, come and sit here." ”

After this voice, the whole box fell silent for half a moment.

I don't know who said: "She hasn't changed her surname now or is she called Yuan Lu, right?" It seems to be ...... I remember that in the summer vacation of the year after the college entrance examination, the banner hanging at the entrance of our junior high school to celebrate the top student in the college entrance examination was clearly written as Yuan Lu. ”

"Yes, it's still called Yuan Lu, don't stand at the door and sit here."

Yuan Lu smiled at the crowd reluctantly, in fact, it doesn't matter what others call her, she can only be herself, Yuan Lu or Qiao Lu, she only does herself.

She was pulled to the empty seat at the wine table by several girls, and they were so enthusiastic that they couldn't see the indifference and dislike for her back then. Time seems to have thrown people into a smooth way, and it has automatically thrown away some of the memories that embarrassed both parties. When they met again, no one mentioned the differences and estrangements of the year, and they all became enthusiastic old classmates at this moment.

"I saw Liu Wen wearing the same style on Weibo, this year's winter model of MAXMARA, right? This color can't be seen in the photo, and it really matches the skin tone when you wear it. Liu Wen's complexion is relatively dark, and she doesn't look as good as you. ”

"Where can I compare with other international supermodels, there are similarities." Yuan Lu didn't expect that one day he would become the object of their discussion of clothing.

I remember when she was in junior high school, she always heard girls gather around in a bunch to discuss the outfits in girls' fashion magazines during class, at that time she didn't understand what "Xinwei" and "Egger", and one day later she went to the newsstand to buy newspapers when she saw them on sale, only to understand that the "Xinwei" and "Egger" in the mouths of girls were two girls' fashion magazines.

"Xinwei with the same style" and "Egger with the same style" were the trend among the girls at that time, if a girl wore the same style of the magazine to school today, there were always a bunch of girls around her to ask long and short, what price, what way to buy, Yuan Lu is not interested in these, adolescent girls are sensitive and beautiful, but at that time she really did not have the energy and qualifications to discuss dressing.

A sweater left over from a country grandmother when she was young was dismantled and reknitted with a high collar that she wore for three years, until the last winter of junior high school came, the sweater was found to have a wormhole, and this historic sweater finally "retired" with honor.

Julie used to be the benchmark of the beauty of the girls in the class, and now she looked at the original heron surrounded by the girls quietly, and unconsciously touched the LV basic shoulder bag at hand. This is the first brand-name bag she bought with the money she earned from working on weekends and winter and summer vacations, and she rarely uses it, only taking it out of the dust bag on important occasions and carrying it back, and carefully putting it back every time she gets home.

She saw sharply that the bag on the shoulder of the original heron was a new cowhide bucket bag launched by LV this spring, with a five-figure price at the counter and never a discount of less than 10%.

She really regretted why she didn't carry a Taobao women's bag of dozens of yuan like other female classmates today, and such a nondescript LV basic model seemed to have become a dazzling joke in front of the breezy Yuan Lu.

The soil bun that she didn't pay attention to at all back then, but she didn't expect to become an "opponent" who was both envious and jealous in her eyes many years later. The acid in Julie's heart with a burning fire was muffled and burning in her chest.

"Ah, Julie, your bag seems to be the same brand as the original heron's bag, and if you don't look closely, you can't really see that it is the same product if you look carefully at the metal LOGO on the original heron bag."

Yes, how is the basic model of Rotten Street, the LVLOGO logo of Rotten Street, and the low-key cowhide bag the same? The jealousy in Julie's eyes began to spread to the other end of the crowd.

Yuan Lu looked down at her bag, which was a birthday gift sent back to her by Qiao's mother who was far away in Singapore. Qiao's mother is an elegant woman who is meticulous from head to toe, and her reserved and generous bones show her good family upbringing every moment, and it is she who has reborn herself into the current original heron.

She always said that the best time in a girl's life was when she was a student, so she spared no effort to polish the edges and corners of the original heron little by little.

She took Yuan Lu to straighten her teeth, took Yuan Lu to care for acne, took Yuan Lu to see menstrual irregularities, took Yuan Lu to do hair maintenance, buy clothes, buy shoes, buy lipstick, treat her as a princess, and let her do all the things that girls at this age love beauty.

Yuan Lu spent a summer vacation and a semester of high school from the "bun" in the mouth of her classmates to the "fairy" in the mouth of the boys, and her transformation came from Qiao's mother's meticulous care and care.

The inconspicuous jade of the original heron finally had the original shine and dazzle under the careful polishing of Qiao's mother.

"Yuan Lu, have you heard? Your uncle and aunt are going to sell their house in County A to make a living in City C, my aunt is your uncle and aunt's neighbor, I heard my aunt say that it was because your cousin was expelled from the school because he caused trouble in school, and he was afraid that there would be no school nearby to accept him, so the family planned to move to City C. ”

"Oh."

Yuan Lu only replied with an "oh" without any affection, otherwise what else could she say? Table xiàn out of the enthusiasm and enthusiasm that relatives should have? I'm sorry, she couldn't do it, if it wasn't for them being too decisive and despicable, she wouldn't have become the target of public criticism, let alone entering Qiao's house, it was they who forced her to a dead end step by step, and it was they who made her have nothing to do with the surname Yuan from now on.

Yuan Lu got up and planned to go out to breathe, and said, "I'll go to the bathroom, you eat slowly." ”

Opening the window at the end of the corridor of the hall, the cold wind outside filled Yuan Lu's whole person with an unprecedented sense of sobriety.

If you can't love your enemies, then you should thank them, they are the ones who have made you who you are.

************

"How do you blow the wind outside?" Wu Jin came from the other end of the corridor after making the call, closed the window casually, and pointed inside with his thumb: "The atmosphere inside is not good?" ”

Yuan Lu clasped his arms in both hands, shook his head and said, "It's good, there is food and chat." ”

"Then why don't you go in?"

"It's hot, stuffy, come out and breathe."

Wu Jin smiled, "Yes, I see that Lin Mu didn't come to this meal to eat, you wait for me to call and urge, what time is it and you haven't shown up, really tell us Tianxian to wait until the gang disperses?" ”

Wu Jin took out a lighter and lit a cigarette while really holding his mobile phone to call: "Well, it's me, why did you pick it up so late?" The next ride should not exceed five seconds. Well, it's on, ah, the original heron, it's by my side. Wu Jin glanced at the original heron, and smiled so hard that even the tips and tails of his eyes were capitalized with pride.

Greasy! Yuan Lu rolled her eyes, what about abusing dogs, her uncle is not uncommon to be abused, and thought he really called Lin Mu, but he didn't expect to call Gansu.

Yuan Lu's eyes squinted at Wu Jin, and the whites of his eyes were almost squeezing Hei Ren'er, but there was a shallow smile on his mouth. This pair is really in love, this little Bisheng is newlywed, according to this momentum, before Yao Fei comes back, Wu Jin has to go to Gansu first.

"You're tired of being here, I'm in."

"Oh, don't mind, I still have a while here, you help me go downstairs to the front desk to see if I can order a few more dishes, this time people are here, I didn't plan to have so many, you go down and help add a few more dishes." Wu Jin took the phone away and squeezed out the gap to shout at Yuan Lu.

Yuan Lu really rewarded him with a real white eye this time, and he sent her to run errands for his own flowers. But her eyes were blank, and her feet still walked straight to the elevator entrance, ready to go downstairs.

It only took a few seconds for the elevator to get from the second floor to the first floor, and the elevator door opened with a "ding", and Yuan Lu stepped on 7 cm high boots and walked towards the front desk on the first floor.

"Let me ask you at the front desk, is there a class reunion here today? Do you know what floor and how many halls are there? ”

"Wait a minute, lady, I'll check it for you." The front desk lady flipped through today's banquet arrangements and said, "Someone is indeed holding a class reunion here today, and the venue is in Hall F on the third floor. ”

"Okay, thank you."

Yuan Lu looked at the back of the front desk with his back to her, and felt that there was disbelief beyond the absurdity. If hell, it's something wrong with her eyes after the laser.
